I did this without realizing it would be much more helpful than just [11am Do New Habit].
I haven't been following through on my new habit lately, but I feel bad dismissing that plea from my would-be better self.
It's really, really difficult to start a healthy habit so do not worry when you aren't perfect!
If you can, make it a habit that you do first thing in the morning so there are minimal obstacles that could throw you off.
Do not try to start more than one habit at a time!
Best of luck!

if you are trying to build a habit out of something you enjoy doing, but still something you have difficulty getting yourself to do, set an extremely small daily goal.
if you want to write, write one sentence every day at same time. if you want to play music, play one note every day at the same time. by setting the goal low and doing it daily, you will find that on most days you do more than that one sentence or one note.
creating the habit actually exposes how much you love doing the thing. i'd suggest restricting yourself to this little bit for like a week straight just so you can build the habit. by the end of that week you will be bursting with a desire to do more than that one sentence or one note.
this also means that later, once the habit is implemented in your life, if you have an off-day where you really don't have the inspiration, all you have to do is write one sentence or play one note. i think the trouble with building habits is the pressure to upkeep them. it's so hard to start because you're not just initiating an activity for your day, you're trying to initiate it for the rest of your life. but if you set the goal small you will exceed it, and the pressure will fade.

Hold yourself accountable to doing them with some kind of habit tracker, then once you can consistently do those start adding on other things. Try the Fabulous app! I used it to build self discipline when I was like 22 years old lol

But the best way is to simply do it. set a time to do something, sit down and start, and keep going for like at least 15 minutes. Preferably with your phone far away. And then you KEEP doing this repeatedly. I find having creative partners also helps to hold me accountable
